After the sixth season of "Game of Thrones" ended with a record-breaking finale, fans are speculating that the sixth book in George R.R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" series from which the TV show is based on is already finished and awaiting publication.
"A Dance of Dragons," the fifth book, was released back in 2011.
Meanwhile, Martin continues to torment the series' followers by releasing snippets of the book, from different chapters, which gives the impression that the book is complete. However, the author doesn't acknowledge if the rumors are true. Fans have even suggested that there is enough material to create an ebook out of it, Vine Report stated.
The Bangor Daily News reported previously that Stephen King and Martin met in Albuquerque. The two authors are responsible for deaths or sever bodily harm to thousands of fictional characters. The authors discusses their differing paces in book writing.
Martin said to King, "I have a good six months and crank out 3 chapters, meanwhile you wrote 3 books in that time!"
Meanwhile, it is also rumored that "The Winds of Winter" isn't finished yet and Martin has stopped writing because many of the good climaxes were already shown during the season finale of season 6 of the TV show. If this rumor proves to be true, it also means that the book will not be released anytime soon.
The author already took 20 years writing the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series, though it is far from complete. Several dates have already been said to be the release date of the sixth book, but it hasn't materialized yet. This time, it is speculated that the book will arrive sometime in January 2017.
"You're disappointed, and you're not alone. My editors and publishers are disappointed, HBO is disappointed, my agents and foreign publishers and translators are disappointed ... but no one could possibly be more disappointed than me," said Martin, as reported by Australian Network News.
